Review: Peaky Beats Digital have once again proved their worth with this delightful four track drop, seeing the combined flavours of both Peaky Beats themselves and Core Syndicate. We begin with 'Ripto's Rage', the first of the two Peaky Beats originals, giving us a very loose garage warbler with a strong focus on catchy melody riffs, followed by 'ACME', an aquatic dip into loose organ sweeps and cartoonish FX. Next comes the reign of Core Syndicate, introducing firstly the skippy 2-step drums and subtle sub work of 'Simple' to the table, with the more unpredictable orchestral hits and minimalistic drum arrangements of 'Vitamin D' to follow. Very tasty indeed!
Review: For the first edition of the newly launched Peaky Beats Digital imprint, we see the don himself: Peaky Beats deliver a bag of seriously groovy garage originals, giving us three rave-ready hitters to enjoy. First up, 'Cat Call' combines a fruity selection of bubbling chord melodies and choppy vocal scraps, atop a lively percussive backdrop, before 'Brandi Dub' dives into some smooth R&B recreation, taking a classic vocal and giving it a bassy backdrop to bounce off. Finally, 'Cats From Space' gives us a fiery supersonic sweeper to close off on, focussing on spacious atmospheric beauty and a sleek finish to match!
Review: The Vivid label is yet another one from Burnski who also runs Constant Sound and Instinct. He is a single-handed garage hit-making machine and knows how to tap into the next gen too. Here he calls upon Peaky Beats for a naughty and nasty three track affair that has retro feels but contemporary style. 'Can't Stop' opens up with a 2-step shuffle and steely hits, then 'Get Ready' gets more free and melodic with some boxing little melodic patterns and oscillating bass. Last of all is the most menacing and dark - 'Wildcat' flips into a dub wise swagger midway through that is going to blow up the clubs.
